Hey Guys,
being on old bootloader i want to flash one of the prerooted stock roms provided here.
In the OP it says for installing the JB 4.3 roms on old bootloaders: "Other than wifi, the rom is fully working, (...) To get wifi fully working, dev needs 4.3 kernel sources, so please wait!".
So will i break WiFi because i can't use (as also said in the thread) the WiFi Fix on old bootloader?
I would like to flash the newest prerooted Stock Rom (XXUEMKE from 27.11.2013) via CWM.
i use a 4.3 costom rom with no wi fi problems if u had problems with your connection just flash a 4,3 modem and that should solve it.

The provided roms in the linked thread don't contain a modem. I'm currently on MJ5 with latest (newest) possible LTE modem for old bootloader. So I don't understand why it says in the thread that there can occur Wi-Fi problems..

that is because when 4.3 came at the begining they didnt have the kernal sources for 4.3 and that made lots of problems but now there are a lot of kernals for 4.3 like ktoones, Faux and talexop's kernal

If you are still on 4.2.2, then I would recommend to not upgrade to a 4.3 stock rom. Doing so will flash the new bootloader which will setup Knox on your phone. When you have the new bootloader and you flash a custom rom, Knox wil be set to 0x1. You can read more about Knox in the Knox thread.
If you planning on flashing custom roms in the future, then stay away from official firmwares.

You can flash any custom rom based on 4.3 that you want. Because custom roms don't flash the bootloader. There seem te be some problems with sound and wifi (but i'm not sure) when you flash a custom 4.3 rom on an old bootloader. But you can always revert to a custom 4.2.2 rom. So you can just try it
Just don't flash originial firmwares. Custom roms are safe.

Thanks for the info bro..i just wanted to know whether I would be missinganything significant If idont updateto 4.3.3 or any 4.3.3 roms, cause of the problems you mentioned
sorry to highjack the thread as its a noob question but wanted to make sure.
I am on MH8 knox 0x0.
If i flash the 4.3 MJ5 stock firmware via know will it trigger knox? i have no intention of rooting just to upgrade to official 4.3?
I flashed a 4.3 custom ROM and I get baseband unknown, IMEI unknown, and no reception. I used to flash 4.3 ROMs without trouble but after I installed one specific ROM, my phone can't accept another 4.3 ROM.
I tried flashing back stock 4.2.2 ROM and it fixes everything. But when I'm installing 4.3 ROM, I get the same problem.
Please help me. Thanks.

Which was that one specific ROM? Didn't you took the Nandroid before flashing that one specific ROM?
I doubt that one specific ROM might be PA RC2,right??
Try flashing any rom,gapps, bootloader(optional-z20i latest),radio(.84 latest) . :good:

It's not PA, it was Cataclysm. I haven't tried bootloader, will do and report back. Thanks for the suggestion! I did a Nandroid though but I want to try another ROM.

Hi all,
my girlfriend has my old N7100 with SwiftROM 4.1.2, now she wants to update to 4.3.
I heard of all the issues on WiFi etc.. but i don't know if this only happens maintaining old bootloader; I don't need this, i just want to have a N7100 pure stock so if my bootloader is updated i don't care.
My question is: can i flash the new Stock ROM MK9 with Odin updating the bootloader without having trouble with WiFi or EFS?
Thanks in advance,
Daniele.

I updated once from CM 10.3 to stock 4.3 and had no issues.
The only annoying thing is that WiFi notification shows up all the time.
If people install Wanamlite 3.1 then flash modem with I9505XXUFNB9-WiFi-FIX(NON-HLOS).tar This working perfectly on my S4-GT9505.
Check your modem versions on here before flashing.
That's a fix for all the custom roms when you are on the old bootloader.
Hello friends now my gti9505 have custom lollipop rom.UHOJ2 base modem and bl.one suggest me can I flash custom kk base rom?any problem after flash kk base modem bl over on lollipop modem and bl?
Yes it will probably work.
Be sure no problem about baseband and imei lost?

A custom rom never contains a modem or bootloader. So no that does not apply.
It mean no any problems after flashing?
Some custom ROMs require an up-to-date modem and bootloader. If you flash a custom ROM, the imei may disappear or wifi/calls may not work if the ROM is too new for the phone's bootloader and modem.
Before installing a custom ROM on a phone, I make sure that the phone is working properly with the latest stock ROM.

He means it the other way around. He wants to use a kitkat rom on a lollipop bootloader and modem. That's shouldn't be a problem.
I see the OP asking 2 questions:
1) Can a KK ROM be flashed to a phone running an LP bootloader and modem. Generally, I would say yes but whether all functions work will depend on the KK ROM. Some custom KK ROMs I ran on my Nexus 5 required me to downgrade the bootloader and radio to KK versions.
2) Can a KK modem and bootloader be flashed over an existing LP modem and bootloader? I think it depends on the phone's installed bootloader.
Yes audit13 brother my quistion is no1. I have now albe95 astra v2 on UHOJ2 base modem and bl lollipop. And goes to goldfinger kk base.now confused what can I do?
Did not try on i9505 but it works on i9500. I think it will work but u should backup your EFS partition
I say try the KK ROM on the LP bootloader and modem. If it doesn't work, you'll either have to find another ROM or you'll have to try and flash a KK bootloader and modem over a LP bootloader and modem.
